The 22-year-old British singer, who is in town to perform at the 2014 MTV VMAs, discussed dating sites Tinder and Grindr in a recent interview.

“No offense to people who go on Tinder but I just feel like it’s ruining romance, I really do. We’re losing the art of conversation and being able to go and speak to people and you’re swiping people,” Sam told Metro UK. “From my experience the most beautiful people I’ve been on dates with are the dumbest, so why would I swipe people who are “unattractive” when I could potentially fall in love with them? Stop Tinder and Grindr!”

Sam also added that he’s been on a few dates with a special someone, but wouldn’t name the lucky person!
